    About this ebook

    PENELOPE, by Jean-François Marmontel, tells the story of Ulysses' return to Ithaca after his long journey home from Troy, and how he takes revenge on the boorish suitors of his wife, Penelope, who have browbeaten her for years. The freshness and charm of this French dramatization is remarkable.
